My Take
What draws my attention to Baker is the economist-turned-politician profile; a man who reasons from principle rather than poll numbers. Schooled at Southampton and made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, he was no accidental MP. Sitting at the heart of Brexit as a minister, then serving in Northern Ireland and the Cabinet Office, placed him on some of the most divisive ground in modern British politics. People will disagree fiercely about his positions, and that is fair. But I respect conviction politicians who own their stance publicly, run their own platforms, and refuse to hide. Whatever your verdict, the man stands for something.
